The First Critique is a tough go (they all are, actually), especially if

found it easier when I took a grad seminar in it a few years back.

==============
To drag this back into a teaching context, one important action
we do as teachers is to set the context/background for students.
I spend a lot of my class time (and I assume others) explaining
to students "why" ("presumably smart") people were interested in
some issue or some empirical finding. Being able to explain
background or engage in "guided reading" sets one apart from
Wikipedia or many sophomore textbooks.

PS - I missed the Kant reference completely. So are you in
Canarsie or where?

A joke?!? I KNEW there was a reason it resonated with me lol. Seriously,
quoting Eeyore, 'thanks for noticing' ;-)
Coincidentially I mentioned Kant in my Mind,Brain&Evolution class today in reference to perception. I did try to read Critique of Pure Reason years ago .... the key word is 'try'

Quoting [email protected]:
I was intrigued for two reasons by this quote which John Kulig
appended to his recent post:
Religion without science is blind; science without religion is lame - A.
Einstein
The line is a joke -- a spoof on Kant's famous claim: "Thoughts without content
are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind," form the Critique of Pure
Reason.
